Question
Do you think Wanda really thought the girls were teasing her? Why or why not?

Solution
Wanda would have been aware that the other children were teasing her. She would have known that the children intended to make fun of her poverty, and would have laughed at her whatever she might have said. This could have been the reason for her exaggerating everything whenever she answered their questions.
